问题
I have specific use case for JSF validation. For example I have an inputText
field:
<p:inputText id="input" required="#{myBean.required}" value="#{myBean.value}" maxlength="20" disabled="#{myBean.disabled}">
<p:ajax event="blur" process="@this" update="name" listener="#{myBean.listener}"/>
</p:inputText>
Value of input is number (in some cases it can also be a string, because this is part of composite component, but problem is better described if we assume this is a number). This input is part of the form, at the end of form I have submit button:
<p:commandButton value="Save" actionListener="#{myBean.save}"/>
What are my requests:
- When submit button is pressed all validation should be processed and this is OK, this works fine.
- When blur event is fired on input field if field is not empty a number validation should be processed, and this is also OK. At the end I update field with id
name
with some value. - Now I have a problem. My third request is when input is empty validation on input should not be processed. This is special case in which I will clear field with id
name
. This is also case when i remove text which is already entered in input, remove focus from component (press TAB for example) and in that case AJAX request should also be processed and name input will also be cleared.
How I can disable validation of this input field in case when it is empty, and just for this ajax event?
回答1:
Let the input's required
attribute check if the save button is pressed or not (which can be identified by the presence of its client ID in the request parameter map).
<h:form>
<p:inputText ... required="#{not empty param[save.clientId] and myBean.required}" />
<p:commandButton binding="#{save}" ... />
</h:form>
(note: do not bind it to a bean property! the code is as-is)
This way it would only evaluate true
when the save button is actually pressed.
Or, if you have problems with binding
and/or don't have a problem hardcoding the button's client ID:
<h:form id="formId">
<p:inputText ... required="#{not empty param['formId:buttonId'] and myBean.required}" />
<p:commandButton id="buttonId" ... />
</h:form>

Just remove the required attribute as you accept the input if the input is empty. Then write a custom validator which accepts only empty input or numerical input.
<p:inputText id="input" value="#{myBean.value}" maxlength="20" disabled="#{myBean.disabled}" validator="customerNumericInputValidator"> <p:ajax event="blur" process="@this" update="name" listener="#{myBean.listener}"/> </p:inputText>
public class customerNumericInputValidator implements Validator {
@Override
public void validate(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uIComponent,
Object object) throws ValidatorException {
String number = (String) object;
number = Strings.nullToEmpty(number).trim();
//if the request is a full request then number can not be empty
if(!FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback() && Strings.isNullOrEmpty(number))
{
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();
message.setSummary(Messages.getMessage("error empty value"));
message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
throw new ValidatorException(message);
}
if(!Strings.isNullOrEmpty(number))
{
if(!isNumber(number))
{
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();
message.setSummary(Messages.getMessage("error not numerical value"));
message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
throw new ValidatorException(message);
}
}
}
}
